What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in South Tyneside
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in South Tyneside from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Staff at this small, friendly nursery for children aged two to three years work well together. They have a very good understanding of each child's individual care needs. This helps children build secure emotional attachments. Children are very happy and confident. They move around the broad range of stimulating activities and become inquisitive learners. For instance, children are totally engaged as they explore a 'beach' area. They make marks in the sand, pour it through a sieve, build sandcastles and learn new vocabulary. Staff consistently encourage children's imagination skills through praise. For instance, as children pretend to make jacket potatoes for tea in the home corner, and stomp like a dinosaur in the garden.
Staff are always close by to respond to children's needs and have high expectations for children's behaviour. Children learn to behave and interact well together. Staff are calm and positive role models, teaching them good manners and respect.
Parents say their children flourish at nursery.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- continue to improve the way staff use opportunities during activities and routines, to challenge and extend all children's learning, to drive maximum development for children n consider even more ways to help all children build on their physical development, particularly those children who choose to play indoors.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
